Description: LOS LOCOS IS CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR REFURBISHMENT, AND WILL RE-OPEN IN SPRING 2013. The vibe is hot and the food is sizzling at Los Locos, a Tex Mex restaurant fast becoming a Covent Garden mainstay. Substantial portions of Mexican staples and south-west American favourites are on the menu, while late-night dining and a pre-theatre set menu make it a popular stop-off. There's also a bar and lively nightclub open every night until 3am.

Was given a discount voucher when walking through Covent Garden and so made our way to the restaurant which is opposite Theatre Royal Drury Lane. I would really recommend the BBQ chicken. It is great value when 2 are ordered. (circa. £7 each) Not posh but practical and great for hungry families - BRAVO

Visited with a last minute booking on a busy Friday night. The group including a child were welcomed greatly despite this and enjoyed a range of happy hour bar deals on spirits, beers, pitchers and wines. The menu was tex mex but good quality and kids menu was a good range and value. And all this with a great 80s... More

This place is full of life and fun, happy hour cocktails made our days! Didn't eat a full meal but the snacks and dips were delicious.

we called in here whilst dodging rain showers in Covent Garden and after being handed a flyer by a pleasant young lad in the street. This was basically a happy hour deal which meant that for every meal you bought you got a second one free as well as cheap drinks offers. This meant that our party of five got... More

I recently had dinner here with my boyfriend and the food was so good! Service was quick and friendly. I ordered a tequila sunrise which I have got to say it was probably the best cocktail I have ever had! Wasn't weak or too strong :) For starters we ordered nachos and asked to have chicken and mince on it.... More

Fantastic service, pretty poor food although big portions. Fun atmosphere: cheap and cheerful without the cheap. Good value happy hour but also pretty bland cocktails. All in all...avoid.

Happy hour drinks as well which was a nice surprise.. Didn't expect much from the front of the building and the paper table clothes… but very much... More

As a group of 9 with a return train booked for 9.30pm from Euston, we were relying on honest advice from restauranteurs about getting a table. At 6.05pm, after being harangued on the street by one of their flyer touts, we entered Los Locos and were told they did not have a table but one would be ready in 40... More
